Honour Lane will utilize Catapult’s QMS solution for rate management, Rate-Hub for multi-party rate sharing with their agent network, and the Tariff Filing product for built in compliance checks and recommendations to mitigate risk of penalties.

We were quickly able to identify the challenges they experienced managing data over such an extensive network of offices and agents and provide actionable solutions” said Virgil Ferreira, CEO of Catapult International.
Digitizing the rate management and distribution process for Honour Lane globally will generate actionable business intelligence that shows which routes agents are searching for and what rates they use.
